GXT 840 Myra

Great product at the price

I have used the keyboards and mice that has come with may PCs a lot, but every time I treat myself to a more ergonomic or fancy accessory I am not disappointed. The 'Trust GXT 840 Myra Gaming Keyboard' is more gamer based than ergonomic, but has enough features that will please anyone, but especially a gamer. The entire thing has a stark look to it with its jagged edges and of course the lights. Most of these features are not really to my taste, but for someone prone to crouching over a keyboard and playing games in a dark room it looks cool and actually has a function - you can see what you are doing.Other functional aspects include the ability to programme some of the buttons to allow sequencing. This means you can drop a move with one button press, rather than go through the rigmarole of tying it over and over again. If you are someone who plays the same game to a decent standard a lot, these program buttons are great.The entire thing is good value for price. There are faster, slicker models out there, but will come at a greater cost. The 'Trust GXT 840' offers an introduction to the world of gaming keyboards and if you find that they work well for you, then consider getting a higher model.

I really like this gaming keyboard.I love the design of it , it looks cool.It is easy to set up and use.It has a quick response and is smooth and comfortable to use.Would make a nice gift for any gaming fan.Looks cool and works well.5 stars!

This gaming keyboard has a positive feel to its keys.There are different colours of backlighting, but they can be switched off if preferred.

Well I just gave it 3 stars because there is bit of false advertising going on. The image advertised shows the keyboard divided into the 3 different colors, my son was very disappointed because it doesn't seem to be capable of doing this, it's all one color at a time. Otherwise he was happy with it.☹

This is a great, large, stable keyboard. Excellent response time and I like the keys have some substance to them. You get a good feeling for the strikes you're making, but without the highly 'clicky' sound of more mechanised keys. Four options for backlighting is fun and just generally, this is a great keyboard.

This is quite a heavy keyboard so if you happen to be using it on your lap for whatever reason be aware of that. However the weight is a typical requisite of a gaming keyboard because you want it to stay in place. It is not the flashiest in terms of the lighting effects (pun intended), the lights can be stable, breathing or cycling but only one of the 3 colours at a time, no rainbow effect. There are programmable macro keys if you have a regular sequence of keys you use (up to 65) and also plenty of multi media and control keys attached to the function keys as well. Over all it seems solid and robust and has that cool looking sort of eagle styling across the top edge but I think that's superfluous and makes it slightly larger than necessary (or as described in the downloaded extended leaflet "Ergonomic: False"). That coupled with not getting the rainbow effect which I'm sure could have been designed in with no extra cost makes it lose a star. The quick start leaflet included only gave web links where you can download the actual manual which does give all the info over 3 pages.

Liked how the keys felt but had some issues with accidental activation of certain modes and not believing they were faults with the keys
